This looks a bit hairy. Another colossal tropical atmospheric river driven rain event, this time all the way up the Eastern Seaboard at the same time.
Fortunately it will soon move out into the Atlantic.
Like the forecast Middle East Event come, this has very high IWVT numbers.
The difference is that this event is fast moving and its total duration appears to be 48 hours vs a forecast 72 hours for the intense period of what is coming in Saudi Arabia in a few days time.
This is a 63 hour IVWT forecast for this US Mid West/East Coast #ExtremeWeather event which is still underway.
And the corresponding rain forecast quantities.
The UK daily express described the storm thus: "Freak weather rips through US as extreme snow bomb cyclone buries East Coast cities" >> express.co.uk/news/weather/1…
@TRTWorld round up of extreme weekend weather across the US including this event.
Also similar to what is forecast in the Middle East, the sources of water which combine to produce the extreme weather event are numerous.
